Refurbishment of Compass TheatreWe are really excited about the refurbishment of Compass Theatre. It is going to be a major step forward for the venue and will help us continue to welcome audiences for years to come.
The work being done includes; • A fully refurbished Foyer, Cafe Bar and Box Office• More space for Wardrobe / Costume Hire• Improved step lighting and handrails in the auditorium• Vital repairs to our roof.
The box office will remain at Compass Theatre until the beginning of January, when it will re-locate to Winston Churchill Theatre until end of March 2016.
For pictures and updates about the refurbishment, go to the ‘Visit’ section of our website www.hillingdontheatres.uk
The Theatres Team would like to thank all patrons, visitors and hirers for their patience while these essential upgrades go on.
Volunteer hereWe are always on the lookout for new people to join our excellent team of volunteers. Our pantomime season relies a lot on our Front of House volunteers, helping out behind the bar or in the theatre as an usher - if you can spare us some time and can warmly welcome audiences with a smile, then we’d love to hear from you.
You can sign up to be a volunteer at www.hillingdontheatres.uk Just go to the ‘Volunteer’ section.
